Building a Drone & Timelapse! (DJI F550 Hexacopter Kit)

[@aabb-zz9uw]

My kit bought in 2014 had 4s capable 2830 motors but 3s ESCs and XT60 connector. I had to replace it and will complete building just a few days before the drone ban here. It will only hover indoors and then I will scrap it as I can't afford to get a license above 2kg. Will just keep the electrical parts.

[@skillful_DIY_fan]

Hello. Could You tell me what is the weight of the drone, batterry and how long can it opearte in the air ?

[@hcranky]

Do you know how heavy things could be carried with the drone?

[@CraniumGluteus]

cool drone !

[@frankdillard2522]

I haven't purchased my first drone yet, I am still researching. I know I want to do photography and videography eventually though. I'm curious about modding drones. I've noticed a lot of models, and they all have good points and bad points. The 3 areas that I have noticed that I am interested in modding are...Remote distance, FPV transmission distance, Flying time, and Weight bearing ability. It seems like swapping radios, batteries, and possibly props, and motors would accomplish these, but I'm just learning. Can these things be done?

[@bramskahoon4072]

Yes

[@Janru86]

Sir how many kv does have the brushless motor

[@AerialLensVideo]

Thanks for posting all of this. I actually have had all of the parts except the gimbal, with the best of intentions for about a year and a half. My hold up is this: I do not understand how to program the crazy radio. Know anything about the Futaba FAAST T7C 2.4GHz Radio? I have the the mating receiver and I have the NAZA Lite program, but cannot fathom how to input and save the the servo instructions. You apparently need a degree from MIT to understand the (extremely poor -- assumes too much prior knowledge) instructions. Sure wish somebody could explain the radio. Anyway, thanks for posting. This is a huge help to me!

[@farelghifari_9363]

can you tell me how to setting the remote so that can work on hexa drone (dji f550)

[@the_car_guy5915]

I have acquired one of these and know absolutely nothing about drones. I'm going to try to use this to take it apart and put it back together.

[@arslanzafar8701]

nice work can you give me the creo file of this model?

[@arnaumas27]

What is the weight of all the drone with battery included and how many time you could fly?

[@rccreator4848]

DOES IT FLY

[@mr.e5930]

i want to build one to film would this be a good build for that ??

[@messinwithquads7313]

(Victor) Nice build ! I'll be doing the same after I do the F330 and F450 in a week or two. Just waiting for my motors - 2212 2700kv What size and KV are those motors on your hex ? I will be using 2212 1400kv, also using 2208 1500kv on the Totem Q250 So builds this month and 2 in March. Devo 7e TX, so RX701 on all 4. Be blessed !

[@PeterLTechGuy]

+Messin With Quads Thanks man! I'm using the stock DJI 2212 920KV motors from the kit. Looking forward to hearing more about your build!

[@nishantbhandari6691]

WHICH MOTER U USE WHAT IS KV OF THAT MOTOR

[@lilianaochoa9535]

Nishant Bhandari it is a 920kv motor

[@lilianaochoa9535]

Nishant Bhandari the brand is dji

[@backpageart484]

hey nice reply for common sence

[@emalov98]

How long was the battery duration? Also, you can expand battery for example to the 10000Mah for longer flights :)

[@Ed-yg2ko]

What is the payload it can carry?

[@backpageart484]

hey nice hexacopter peter

[@wholesome_wheelie1606]

pretty awesome! looking into building me a drone after getting to fly a phantom 4 today. ive got a few questions, first off does that gimbal move? do you get live video feed from a go pro hooked to it ? how do you program a remote to work with your drone ? it has GPS so is that something you can set way points for through a app on your phone or is it just for RTH (return to home) purposes ?

[@matthewbrookes456]

How much did it cost for all the parts?

[@felixvisuals]

625.85

[@aabb-zz9uw]

I bought a kit long ago with 2830 motors and 6S ESCs. Is it powerful enough to lift a Samsung NX300 camera with 3 axis gimbal with 14.8V 12000mah power? If not, will two additional motors in a dual quadcopter configuration do the job? Thanks

[@balusavivekvivek445]

which one is more stable either a quadcopter or a hexacopter?

[@emiel8370]

Balusavivek Vivek a quadcopter

[@satkum2101]

Balusavivek Vivek hexacopter but the most stable is a octacopter

[@balusavivekvivek445]

I hexacopter a bad one?? In gaining stability?

[@travisrussell2956]

Hey I've been looking into this kit and the list in the description has a lot of links that don't work anymore. What parts would you recommend now? Or is there another kit you would recommend over this now and what additional pieces would need to be purchased for it?

[@pentanet8135]

esc what are you using?

[@oliverwells955]

what motors were you using??

[@jamesandonian7829]

how did you wire that reciever with the flight controller? I can't find any help

[@ENTOURAGEVICHO25]

Hi!! Nice video! I have an F550 with Naza V2 and my controller is WFLY 07 but I can make it fly.. Can you help me with the gains? Thanks

[@JoRgE92x]

Se le puede colocar el controlador Dji A3??

[@harrisonwalker7458]

Hi What range are you getting Thanka

[@shubhamvernekar4350]

how much weight it can lift

[@teammassikka397]

Hey I'm building a f450 I have Naza m lite and Radiolink at9 but I do not know connections between the servo and Naza.Could you tell me them?

[@talalalotaibi9414]

may i ask what screws to use with sunnysky 2216 880kv motors?

[@jahedhossainnobelbd]

propeller details pls

[@makermind2050]

[@JonathanC199]

Can you uses different types of gimbals on it

[@AMAStudios]

yes

[@haroonmalik1186]

Full kit price please replying

[@seanoshea6544]

What was the Flight time?

[@ajmallapre9874]

why cant u just use 4 very strong moter and make a huge drone like a skateboard and use a small controller to control the so call control the hoverboard?

[@johnson42069]

Is it possible to m9unt a nikon d3300 & gimbal on this?

[@tioevi]

How much to build everithing?

[@dilshanperera01]

[@backpageart484]

maximum 45000

[@dilshanperera01]

thanks

[@kirkringdahl8742]

You're supposed to put the flight controller as close to the center as possible for future reference...

[@SamYamanPhotography]

Good JOB,,,,

[@Spectamin]

i feel sad for the GPS mounting place

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

hi still avail for some questions,, Im sure you can help

[@ajaymohare5766]

South West Florida Aerial fjjjk Vhfcn

[@teammassikka397]

Nice build! How long is flight time?

[@PeterLTechGuy]

+TEAM MASSIKKA Flight time is about 15 minutes with my 4000mAh battery.

[@miHah]

+PeterLTechGuy That seems a bit to much isnt it? what is the weight with battery on it? Btw, i was wondering how you mounted that landing gear to the bottom plate. You got any pics? :) thanks! nice build tho!

[@backpageart484]

17 minutes maximum

[@backpageart484]

it depends on the battery Mah

[@PokeyzRule]

Cool! :D

[@TheMrgagan09]

hello sir low price tx & rx (made hexacoptar using naza)

[@fbiagent3399]

You Missed 1 Very Important Item.... Heatshrink

[@sajkarthikeyan6711]

it wont flys

[@tjja7321]

4 a sec I thought this was wintergatan music and I was like hey that's copyrighted but no it's kubbi

[@stingray1951]

What an informative video. A bit like listening to someone speed reading. I missed a step or two in your build. Thank god I don't require your guidance in building anything.

[@jefferyli2127]

Can you build a fetish too

[@seabass9132]

I hope they make a pre made one or I'll just get someone to do it for cause holy fuckin shit I messed up so many damn times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jenniferma7387]

Peter I think you've mistaken the drone for a bagel. It's actually a bagel. Get some sleep

[@PeterLTechGuy]

+Jennifer Ma Some bagels can fly, so it doesn't really matter anyway.

[@harrisonwalker7458]

+PeterLTechGuy are theses drones becoming obsolete? Thinking about getting one

[@Gamebleboys]

You didn't build a drone, you just assembled a drone. Please

[@yysto]

Michael Yeung well that's just like saying you didn't build a gaming pc- you assembled it Wtf is your logic

[@Newport31311]

YSdoesstuff he bought a kit. Not individual parts. That's like buying a barebones kit and saying you built your own pc. No you bought a kit and assembled it. Yes it gives you experience, but ultimately it's only half of the process of a true build. The other half is selecting the parts based off of your knowledge and preferences.

[@Praetoreon]

With that logic, does anyone REALLY "build" a drone?

[@ianlavender7185]

@@Praetoreon Yes I am building a S550 hexacopter from scratch. Bought each and every component separately. I have never built a drone before and there are no comprehensive build videos I've found after hundreds of searches. They R ALL bullshit videos just like this one.

[@ianlavender7185]

Again "click baitshit".

[@Lowered_basspeugje151.47]

how did u connect the controller to the drone? i'm new with drone so don't know very much of them

[@felixvisuals]

Total price ???
